I love to do stuff like this. A week or so ago I stretched one salmon fillet to feed three people. didn't use any dairy, but sauteed some spinach with the shallots and sauced up the salmon and spinach with about 1/2 cup of dry white wine.

I always add the hot, drained pasta to the sauce pan and toss everything together there.

I have only had canned salmon once.It was made into patties with saltine crackers.It was in the late 1980's so I don't even remember if I liked it.

What else do you do with it?

When I was growing up, we often had a can of salmon for Sunday night supper, with hard boiled eggs, sliced rye bread, tomatoes (if in season) and lettuce. Condiments on the table, too. We could make a sandwich, or a salad of sorts on our plates. It was the red Alaska Sockeye variety. I still enjoy that kind of meal.

You can also use the canned salmon for salmon mousse. Very successfully, I might add.
